Hippo Hates All The Things – 8 Oct Open Thread

Nothing matters, we all just stand on the precipice of the endless void.  But first, the fixtures:

There is no early Saturday game.  Because FUCK YOU, the FA says.  Three pointless streamers and Bees/Bonesaws (USA) in the 10:00 window.  Hey, it passes the time.  Spotlight Dance is Brighton/Spurs (12:30, NBC), which has some appeal.

Sunday is a USA triple-header, WHY NOT pick a week when the NFL is already on all goddamned day and we don’t need it.  Sequentially, Palace/Leeds, Gooners/Shite, Everton/Men Untied.  The latter being played at 2:00 EST, which is a war crime for the match-attending supporter, and even MOAR important – for a RedZone addict like Hippo.  There is also a bonus match, Rum Ham/Mighty Whitey (9:00, CNBC), a reminder that CNBC exists and you don’t remember the channel number.

JV NFL can eat shit, too.  But they’s playing anyway:

Tennessee (-3) at LSU (Noon, ESPN)

Is this where All Comes Crashing Down for Knoxville Tang?  But enough about Brian Kelly’s bodycount, this is a good song:

TCU (-6.5) at Kansas (Noon, FS1)

One would call this a trap game, but the warning would apply to each squadron.  So fuck it, take the points.  I’m soUrry, Bloodeyes.

Arkansas (+9) at Mississippi State (Noon, SECN)

So many Cowbells, so little time.  Actually scratch that – we are in Hell, there is an eternal amount of time.

Texas Tech (+9.5) at Oklahoma State (3:30, FS1)

Guns Up!! for a DBSM trap game for sure.  Then again, Lubbock’s finest lost to NC State, how good could they possibly be?

Utah (-3.5) at UCLA (3:30, Fox)

Today, we are all Team Secular Big Love, because Chip Kelly is a big fat baby who deserves not even the fleetest of happiness.

i’m here hippo and also high on goofballs

yeah right

We have TWO legalized gambling measures on the California ballot and they’re both throwing money like drunken salesmen on their first Vegas trip at advertising.

I’ll show their asses and vote NO on both the motherfuckers.

Brick Meathook

I wonder if they’re taking bets on these measures outcomes.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

If you stand to make a bunch of money from their passage betting against them seems like it would be a solid way to hedge.

Half full? Let’s give Brocky’s dad some credit-it was mostly empty.

“Michigan’s offense seems to be off kilter today. I don’t know why?”

Maybe watching one of their coach’s brain shut down and reboot before their eyes. That may have something to do with it.

You could blame Michigan O but the Hoosier’s corners are doing a great job.

In other heartbreaking news, Brian Kelly is healthy and currently on the sidelines for LSU right now.

I have always had a great time in Utah. Smoking a joint outside of a friends house on Sunday in an Iggles jersey and some folk asked me why wasn’t I going to church. I responded with the fact that I had already broken a half dozen of their rules by 10 am.

litre_cola

*Oxipug (RIP) did not like those folks and he loved everybody.

Col. Duke LaCross

I ain’t a fan of them either. They’re friendly as hell, and good neighbors, until they finally realize you ain’t interested in what they’re selling.

Gumbygirl

We have a friend who grew up in Utah. He’s Native American. He joined the Navy at 17, and never went back. The racism was off the charts. Those Mormons put on a pretty face, but they’re hideous underneath.

Col. Duke LaCross

Yeah, being told as a 7-year-old that the neighbor kid was forbidden by his folks to hang out with me because I wasn’t “in his ward,” kinda damaged my whole view of those creeps at an early age.

Sunderland remains mid-table in the Championship.

West From Albion, which I think was recently in the Premier, appears headed for League One status if they don’t get their shit together.

Relegation makes things so much more interesting.

They nearly outscored the Broncos and Colts

A great score going into the FA game on the 15th.

Wrexham are going full reverse Seamus and are currently ahead of something called Barnet 7-5 in the 85th minute.

I think a barnet is something you wear to the races in Ole Blighty.

I really enjoy the Italians affinity for the stilts. It is far better than the French and their mimes.

As predicted, our dingus dog Molly was run over yesterday by one of my sons. (she’s badly shaken up, nothing broken though) Does she chase my vehicle? No. Because in the past I immediately got out of the vehicle and gave her shit. I’ve asked the rest of the family to do this so that the behavior would be curtailed. Nope, that would involve some sort of effort on their part.

/hopefully she learns from this otherwise things will come to a bad end that everyone can see coming.

Gumbygirl

We had a dog in our neighborhood when I was a kid, Barney Frye, who was a car chaser. He got hit, lost a leg. Did that stop him? Hell naw, he was Tripod Barney Frye, chasing all the cars, until the school bus ran him over, with a full load of kiddoes to see the whole grisly thing. RIP Tripod Barney Frye, you stupid fuck!

FOXY FOOTY!!!!!

Horatio Cornblower

That was like 3 episodes ago. They’re going for the FA Cup where I’m at, having lost a chance at stop of the table to Stockport County.

I checked, and Stockport County is fighting relegation in League Two. Currently a couple of points clear, with what look like some shite teams below them. Hopefully Wrexham joins them next season.

That said, I saw that episode about the would-be detective and her hooligan love and all I’ll say is that if they’re offering detective positions to people to dumb to leave their obviously dead end significant others then that’s the place I want to go commit crimes.

I will allow it as a tifo painter. But, BUT, fuck the Bees too.

At least Sassytown is on against Inter or else I would be watch Frog Div 2.

I would also like to give a few hearty fuck yous this morning.

  1. No early game in England
  2. Sportsnet up here in Canadia. They have the rights to the Bundesliga and that is it. What do they do with der Klassiker today? Put it on pay tv. YOU HAVE NO OTHER LEAGUES OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU FUCKS. 20 bucks a month is fine for Fubo (Eyetie, Francia, EPL, Canadian lge, South American Liberty Cup), Dazn (NFL, Champions Lge, Face punching). I will not pay the Rogers corp a dime for holding the 2 interesting games a year in the Bundesliga hostage.
  3. What Hippo said about their being good fixtures tomorrow in England with a full NFL slate.
  4. My provincial government. Just when you think we couldn’t get more right wing the leader bails, and the elect an even crazier broad who was on the invermectin train. SHE DOESNT HOLD A SEAT IN THE LEGISLATURE BUT WILL DRAW UP WHACKADOODLE POLICY. What’s that you say? There is an open riding in Calgary? Yes, she should have to run for it. She won’t cuz she would lose. She will oust some other racist, misogynist, white person in their riding and run there so that she is assured a seat. However the cunt will not fill the one empty seat which is a loophole in the provincial government. Did I also mention she is an Alberta separatist? Yeah good call you fuck, landlocked province. But we have oil, fuck you it aint goin anywhere with your fucked up antics.

Happy Saturday to you, my wife and Deci are leaving for 2 days. I plan to watch all the futbol, football, and smoke all the weed.
